Highlights
From NEC — Present with carefree ease using NEC's 5000-lumen PA500U. This reliable model is designed for advanced professional installations and appeases corporate and higher education users. With integrated RJ45, optional high-speed wireless and a multitude of simple-to-use asset management technologies, the PA500U helps users present seamlessly without worrying about their technology. The industry's first built-in stacking correction capabilities (up to four projectors) allows the projectors to boost an image's brightness up to 20,000 lumens, which is ideal for larger-sized screens and environments with heavy ambient light. This feature also prevents the complete loss of an image, which can happen when using only one projector.
- ECO Mode technology helps extend lamp life and lowers power consumption
- 5000-lumen brightness enhances images for most applications
- HQV technology delivers superior home theater video processing
- Windows Network Projector function simplifies your ability to present from any computer, whether local or remote
- Geometric Correction Tool allows you to easily project square images on non-flat screen surfaces without distortion
- AutoSense automatically syncs with any computer signal and features one-touch image optimization

ANSI LUMENS is the most commonly accepted industry standard brightness measurement. The ANSI lumen rating measures the brightest white that a projector can produce by averaging nine light meter measurements taken across the projected image.
